Small Humans, Big Questions: Exploring God & Spirituality (EC-6)

Little kids (& not-so-little kids!) ask big questions that relate to God, faith, & the universe. This course - which will be taught from a pluralistic Jewish perspective - won't give you generic answers to recite to your students about what Jews believe. Instead, it will prepare you to introduce & explore profound questions in intentional & developmentally-appropriate ways that encourage ongoing reflection & dialogue. Participants will consider the concept of faith development & explore resources that can spark discussions & guide spiritual experiences. Participants will be prepared to cultivate their students' sense of wonder, to respond to their existential questions & to help them explore the spiritual dimensions of Judaism at all different ages & stages.
